This Fact Checks claim is that: Donald Trump said if he doesn't win the election it is going to be a “bloodbath for the country” 

The source used for this claim is a video posted on “Kamila HQ” X account of Donald Trump making a speech in Dayton Ohio. In this video of his speech he is shown saying, “Now if i don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole, that's gonna be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the whole country, that'll be the least of it.” Now although slightly different wording in the claim. The video does prove Donald Trump said the content in this statement.

After further research of this topic and similar sources. This video was recorded of former President Donald J. Trump at one of his rallys in Dayton Ohio on March 16th, 2024. Many other reliable sources prove this claim to be true by also posting live footage of the former president stating these exact words. As well as analyzing and quoting his statement within their articles. I think it is also important to note the definition of bloodbath being an event or situation where a lot of people are killed in a violent manner. (Oxford).
